Description
Nutella apple cream cheese crapes. A recipe i came up suddently with all the available ingredients at home for brakfast. I was confident about the results as every ingredient used is sure a fire cracker combination with basic crapes, apples and a chocolaty cheesy mixture. One weird thing about this recipe is there is no water required. Water reminds me of one incident that stuck to my mind as a kid. There was a house called kannadi maligai near our house in saibaba colony at coimbatore. A huge bungalow with a lot of glass (guess that’s why it was called kannadi maligai which means glass bungalow in Tamil)they had a big mud pot of water with a tumbler, kept out of their house near the gate. Once on a hot summer day, i was crossing that house by walk and saw so many people drink water from that mud pot. Then and there i made up my mind that i should also do the same inshaallah when i own a house to cool off people from their thirst with warmth and a sense of well being. Now i have a mud pot of water in front of my house. Whenever i see people drink water from it, my heart is filled with soothing effect. My house is addressed as the house with a mud pot of water by every one now and the best part is in case the water in the mud pot is over , people ring the gate bell and ask us to fill the mud pot with water. A little humble thing done with generosity makes a big difference to others.
